I had C02 fractional laser 9 days ago and my face still gets really hot to the touch, red, and it still feels burning and stinging. Additionally it is still pretty itchy. I’ve had it done a few years ago and I don’t remember any heat, burning or discomfort after a week. Please tell me is this normal?

This can be improved with a combination of Cosmelan, lasers, Aerolase, microneedling/prp, skin lightening, peels, and skin care. Sun protection is essential. I recommend getting a formal evaluation with a scarring expert. Best, Dr. Emer
